Morgan Aero8 vs Muscle biplane

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

World War 1 fighter pilot and #morgan owner Albert Ball once remarked that his pre-war #morgan Three Wheeler was “the closest thing to flying without leaving the ground.” – Since that time, #morgan sports cars have been thrilling drivers around the world with their unique and exhilarating driving experience, be it on 3 Wheels or 4 Wheels.

Their use, however, has never extended to a “race” between a #morgan and a plane, until now! Morgan’s latest video pits their fastest model, the Aero 8, against a Pitts S2S muscle biplane in a head-to-head airfield drag race.

At the wheel of the Aero 8 was Jon Wells, Morgan’s Head of Design and the man who crafted Morgan’s flagship performance car. Boasting a 4.8 litre BMW V8 engine developing 367bhp and weighing just over 1 tonne, the strong power-to-weight ratio made it the ideal #morgan to challenge an agile and lightning-quick aeroplane.

Flying the biplane was Richard Goodwin, a former military and commercial pilot, who has specially modified his S2S biplane, known as “G-EWIZ,” to wow fans with stunning aerobatic displays at air shows around the world. G-EWIZ is powered by a six cylinder, 8.5 litre engine producing over 300bhp and pulls forces of plus 6g and minus 5g at speeds of over 200mph.
